All of this happened too fast. Ye Hong, who was previously arrogant, was now blown away like a rag doll, leaving him with no power to resist at all.

This truly was an enormous blow to Qingwu.

One must know that Ye Hong was at the 4th Layer of Body Tempering, while Ye Hao had been stuck at the 2nd level for the past four years. The two were on completely different levels.

Yet, that arrogant and powerful Ye Hong was unable to withstand a single blow from his young master?

A strange glow appeared in Qingwu's eyes as she stared unblinkingly at the back of the figure in front of her.

Only now did she realize that the current Ye Hao was no longer as slender as he used to be. Instead, he seemed slender and tall, with an indescribable vigor emitting from him.

It was exactly the same as four years ago, when he was the Chosen from Black Lake City.

"..."

At the same time, on the ground not far away, Ye Hong was lying on his back in a sorry state. His chest was caving in, and half of his face was swollen.

"You piece of trash …" How is that possible? "

He stared at Ye Hao, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock. With his Tempered Body 4th Layer cultivation, he was like a baby in front of Ye Hao, unable to resist at all.

Was this still the trash that had been stuck at the second level of the Body Tempering stage for the past four years?

"Trash? If I am trash, then what are you, who is lying on the ground like a dead dog? "

Standing beside Ye Hong, Ye Hao looked down at Ye Hao and said, "There is one thing you are right about. Tormenting a trash like you really doesn't have much of a sense of accomplishment."

Ye Hong's face turned ashen. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "You waste that you haven't been able to break through in these past four years. You must have used some underhanded method. The Patriarch must have given you a Spirit Weapon!"

"You despicable bastard, I'll cripple you!"

After saying that, Ye Hong tried to get up again. He could not accept the fact that Ye Hao, who had been ridiculed by him all those years ago, was once again on top of him.

"You still want to cripple me?" Ye Hao lowered his eyes. Listening to the crazy hissing sounds, his gaze turned cold.

"Even so, it's still better for me to make the first move." Ye Hao's tone was calm as he twitched his mouth. He then stepped on Ye Hong's wrist and exerted his strength.

Ka-cha! *

Aooo!

The sound of bones breaking echoed out along with Ye Hong's miserable howl.

Staring at Ye Hong, whose face had instantly turned pale and was drenched in cold sweat, Ye Hao did not have a shred of pity in his heart. He, who could be said to have died once, would not show any mercy to his enemies.

He knew that if they exchanged positions, Ye Hong would definitely not show him any mercy.

In this world, even if one was soft-hearted and soft-hearted, one wouldn't be able to live for long.

Moreover, Ye Ying and Ye Peng were the direct descendants of some of the elders in the family. For the greater picture, he could only endure it for now.

With this thought in mind, Ye Hao stepped on the other's wrist and indifferently said: "Remember, if you want to cripple someone, you need to have the awareness of being crippled."

Ka-cha! *

The sound of bones breaking was heard once again. Both of his arms were in excruciating pain, causing Ye Hong's face to be filled with fear and regret. Finally, he twitched for a moment before he fainted.

"A trash like you dares to have ideas on Sister Qingwu?"

Looking at the motionless figure on the ground, Ye Hao couldn't help but twitch his mouth. Although his attack this time was not light, it was not enough to take Ye Hong's life. His injuries would recover after a few months of rest.

"Sister Qingwu, let's go."

"Ah …" "Alright!"

Qing Wu, whose face was full of shock, finally came back to his senses. He trotted to catch up with the young man, excitedly said: "Young master, could it be that you have already …"

Although Qingwu had only trained a little and was only at the first level of Body Tempering Stage, he wasn't stupid. Ye Hong, who was at the fourth level of Body Tempering, had no power to resist this young man.

As for what happened to Ye Hong, Qing Wu was naturally not stupid enough to sympathize with him. During the four years that Ye Hao had been in seclusion, she had witnessed the mockery and bullying of him in her clan.

Now that Ye Hao had easily defeated Ye Hong, the girl was even more excited than if she had broken through to Tempered Body 5th Layer.

Seeing the joy in Qingwu's heart, Ye Hao didn't try to hide it. Laughing lightly, he said, "Although I haven't recovered to my peak, I should be able to take care of a few cats and dogs."

As the two chatted, Ye Hao's small courtyard soon appeared in their sight.

Returning back to the house, Ye Hao felt really uncomfortable with Qing Wu. He let her help him wash up before finally sending the discontented girl back to his room.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed alone, Ye Hao looked at the familiar scene in the room. He couldn't help but feel lucky that he had survived a disaster.

These four years of experience had taught Ye Hao how important his own strength was in this world.

Now that the Ye Family was in a crisis and he had been lucky enough to not die and could cultivate again, fate had given him a chance to start over.

If he wanted to protect the people close to him, and even if he wanted to live simply, he would have to build on his strength.

He had to seize this opportunity to become stronger as soon as possible.

"Ye Ying, Ye Peng, no matter who's standing behind you, you must pay the price." Ye Hao murmured while his black eyes flashed with a cold light.

After pondering over it for the past few days, Ye Hao guessed that Ye Ying and Ye Peng's attempt to kill him was just a bonus. Their real goal, or in other words, the target of those people behind them, must be the position of the Ye Clan's leader.

All these years, his grandfather's hidden injuries were difficult to heal and were no longer a secret. Ye Hao had also heard Ye Yunfeng mentioning that some people in the family coveted the position of the family head.

In the current Ye family, the only people left were his grandfather and himself. As for his father, Ye Hao had never seen him before, and his mother, even Ye Yunfeng did not know who he was.

According to what Ye Yunfeng said, back then, Ye Hao's father carried him, who was still a baby, back to the Ye Family. After he left him at the Ye Family, he left until today without any news.

Because of this, there was a rumor in the Ye family that his father should have died long ago, otherwise, there wouldn't have been no news of him for so many years.

It was also because of this that some people from the Ye family started to want to move and covet the position of the family head.

Ye Hao believed that the person behind Ye Yingpeng was someone who wanted to get rid of him, so that their lineage would be annihilated. At the same time, he could also deal a blow to Ye Yunfeng, whose body was gradually deteriorating.

"Which one of the Ye Clan's three elders is it? Or perhaps, all of them? " Ye Hao slightly squinted his eyes.

In the past, he couldn't cultivate, so he could only hide under his grandfather's protection. He tried his best to not give his grandfather any trouble, so thinking about all these things would be meaningless.

But now, he was no longer a trash that could not cultivate.

The Ye family was his grandfather's life's work. He would absolutely not allow anyone else to take advantage of his age to meddle in all this.

Currently, in their line, their father had gone missing, and their grandfather was old. Right now, he was the only one who could take up this responsibility.

"Right now, I'm still too weak. I need to quickly become stronger." Ye Hao's eyes were filled with determination.

This was because he understood that since some of his people had already chosen to attack him, then it proved that the other party was gradually losing its patience.

There wouldn't be much time left for him.

He looked down at his belly. He whispered as he closed his eyes.

Ye Hao was very curious about the mysterious ball of light in his body. After all, that ball of light had absorbed his Qi and blood for four whole years.

As his mind sank, Ye Hao discovered that the grey light in his body was like a firefly that was about to be extinguished. It had become extremely weak.

"Swallowing my blood after so many years, I hope you won't disappoint me too much." Ye Hao murmured in his heart and waited quietly.

"..."

After an unknown amount of time, just as Ye Hao was about to run out of patience, the mysterious light in his lower abdomen suddenly disappeared.

Replacing it was an extremely small pearl that was entirely grey. It was impossible to tell what material it was made of.

"This is …" "What is it?"

Staring at the bead that was quietly floating in his stomach, Ye Hao was stunned for a long time. Before this, he had made many guesses about this mysterious ball of light.

But no matter what, he would never have thought that the mysterious thing that had been in his body for four whole years was actually just an ordinary grey pearl.

"XX, what crappy stuff is this? To think I had such high expectations for you!" With his mind on guard, he looked around the grey bead. However, Ye Hao still didn't notice anything special about it. Finally, he couldn't help but curse.

"The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

Ye Hao suddenly opened his eyes and waved his arm in annoyance. However, he touched the wound on his arm, causing him to grimace in pain.

"This is too much!" After calming down, Ye Hao's heart was still very unbalanced. The mysterious thing that had absorbed his qi and blood for four whole years was just an ordinary bead.

Moreover, the blood vitality that the bead had given him back then was not even a tenth of what he had absorbed over the years. This made Ye Hao feel extremely depressed.

"Since it's able to plunder my blood energy, this pearl shouldn't be as ordinary as it appears to be." After thinking for a while, Ye Hao comforted her and then his mind went back to his body.

However, as time passed, although he had observed it many times, he still couldn't find anything special about it. The grey bead seemed to be made from the most ordinary of pebbles, and there wasn't a trace of light coming from it.

"Hmm? There's a crack? "

Just when Ye Hao was about to give up, he suddenly discovered that on the side of the bead, there was a small crack that was as thin as a spider's thread.

"This bead..." What exactly is it? "

However, after observing for a while, other than the crack on the surface, Ye Hao did not find anything else. This filled his heart with doubt.

Moreover, as he adjusted his mentality, Ye Hao discovered that although this grey bead didn't look like much, it had an indescribably vast and ancient look to it, as if it had a strand of …. After experiencing endless years of vicissitudes.

The strangest thing was, as his mind focused on the mysterious bead, Ye Hao felt a sense of familiarity from the deepest part of his soul.

"This is really strange, is it because he absorbed my blood energy?"

Muttering to himself, Ye Hao gradually let down his guard. His mind moved forward a bit more.

However, just as Ye Hao's mind was about to move forward and approach the grey pearl, suddenly, an irresistible and horrifying suction force erupted from the grey pearl, violently pulling at his mind.

"Damn it!"

This terrifying suction was not something Ye Hao could resist. In the instant that it happened, he felt the world spin around him. Soon after, an unfamiliar scene appeared in his perception.
